Description

When /usr/src is a symlink to another location (on another mount, but I don't know if that's relevant) files from the spell's build directory and staging directory end up in the spell's install log. Problem can be seen with many different spells, bash for example exhibits the problem.

Using:
sorcery 1.14.5
castfs 0.6.1
stable grimoire 0.57-0

When the install is staged the target directory of the /usr/src symlink ends up in $STAGE_DIRECTORY/TRANSL, along with several files within that directory, including $STAGE_DIRECTORY itself when gather_docs is enabled.

This problem causes cleanse --fix to trip over itself because it finds missing files for many spells.

I can reproduce it (set BUILD_DIRECTORY to a symlink), but luckily only the install log is polluted. The files are gone, which is also seen by tar erroring out when creating the cache.
